If we fold, it's SISU's doing though. They aren't selling players to keep the club going, they claim they are selling players to cover the losses they aren't prepared to cover. Considering that they are our owners, that's pretty unforgivable behaviour. They have the money, ICHAN-they have the...

The teenagers of Coventry will have probably all been sold by August!

Can we have Platt back and that handy young CM that AT scouted for us before he was manager? Can't remember his name right now :mad:

"We're down to the bare bones this week, not enough babies have been born in Coventry.."

A bit like Brum's "Bang-bang-bang-embargo" strategy when shooting for the play-offs last year.

Because he's an old fashioned loyal pro, because he loves it here and he's played the best football of his career here? He hasn't been loved by the fans of any other club he's played for like he has at CCFC. And because he's desperate to not end up a "squad player" at a big club. Ben Turner and...

I think that's being a bit naive. Add that "snubbing" of 800K being made public to the Waggott lines inviting Premiership interest-after all, they can afford to pay more-and it shows an intent all right. An intent to sell him! Remember, theyu rejected bids from Premiership teams last...

Sorry Ernie, the difference between then and now is that all the youth players from that 80's side would have been sold at the same time, and we wouldn't have even signed the likes of Platnauer if it had been SISU in charge then!

You could just as easily see that as inviting offers! God I hate them so verily.

Do the words "youth team" mean nothing to you? Why else do you think Carsley was promoted to work with Thorn-to help him with the names of his new first team squad!

Nah, we can't afford bribes. Well we can, but we are saving it for buying half the arena :whistle:

If we have Cybermen, why aren't we playing them? No losing fitness or concentration in the last 5 minutes then. It also fits in with Brody's "grow our own" theory. We'll be a much tougher prospect. I like it.

Well that's Brinner outed as John Clarke, then! None of the other directors are even remotely local.

Me too, but then it's probably up there with "the war will be over by Christmas" and "I hold in my hand a piece of paper..." as great moments of wishful thinking going unfulfilled.

Sorry, I just had to interrupt the private conversation going on in public here...fellas, there is a facility known as "PM", you know! There is also a forum called GMK for fighting out debates that have been raised on GMK. ;)

Yeah, but you wouldn't believe it if you they unveiled him as the new owner on the pitch! It'd be an elaborate hoax or something.

And if I'm as stupid as you, I'll take that!

I think the mess we see now is them living out the reality of both of your theories, Jack. Perfectly put.

ROD is still at the club, Freddy hoping to get a deal with Southend, and Jane, dunno what happened to her...maybe she's Joy Seppala?

God I'm pedantic tonight...generally speaking, a spiv is always a suit wearer. There are two types: 1) The 40's/50's dodgy geezer dealing in black market rationed goods-generally they'd be very well dressed, partly as a result of their ill-gotten wealth, and also as looking "respectable" was...
